yNEcKscARF-Exi-nEnToR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,903, dated July 7, 1885.

Application tiled October 1B, 18H4.` (No model.)

.T0 all whom it may concern: j

Be it known that I, Max KRUEGER, of Mexico, in the county of Audrain and State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Neckscarf-Exhibitors, of which the following is a full', clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved exhibitor. Fig. 2 is a top view, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on line 3 3, Fig. 2. Part of the box is broken away in Fig. l, and the stands, as in l* ig. 3, are in their upper position, while in Fig. 2 they are shown in their lower position.

My invention relates to a device for exhibiting neckscarfs, knots, Snc.; and my invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a box of suitable shape and size, and B stands provided with flexible legs C, and projections D, that tit beneath strips or ledges I, secured to the sides of the box.

These stands are preferably eut out of pasteboard, the legs being formed by two longitudinal slits, and a transverse slit at the lower end, which allows them to beforced out, as shown in Fig. l, when the stands are to be stood up or to be folded in, as shown in Fig.

-2, when the stands are to be laid down in the box.

It will be seen that the stands can be adjusted lengthwise of the box, so that when one or more scarfs are sold the stand or stands can be removed by twisting them in the box to get the projections D out from under the strips I, or they maybe removed by sliding them to one end of the box past the ends of the strips, as shown at J, Fig. 2.

The scarfs or knots are slipped over the upper ends of the stands, as shown in Fig. 1, and it will be seen that each one will be clearly exhibited to view, and when it is desired to close the box it is only necessary to force the lower ends of the stands toward one end of the box and fold the legs in, when the stands will lay down in the box, with the scarfs on them, as shown Fig. 2. When one scarf is sold and its stand removed, the otherstands `may be adjusted to take up the vacancy and make the article look well.

The upper ends of the stands may have hooks L, it' desired, to receive the scarfs.

The shape, size, and dimensions of the paris may be changed and altered without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I wish it understood that I do not confine myself in these particulars nor to the manner of holding the istands in the box; and though I prefer to make the stands of varying lengths, as shown, yet I do not confine myself thereto.

As shown at N, Fig. 1, the upper ends of the stands may have outturned lips to engage the scarfs and prevent them from slipping downward on the stands.

I claim as my inventionl. In combination with a box, a number of stands formed to hold a scarf each, and arranged in the box in rows, those of each row increasing in length backward, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In combination with a box, the stands and strips, the stands having folding legs and projections, the projections fitting beneath the strips, substantially as shown and described, for the purpose set forth.

3. In combination with a box and strips secured to the sides thereof but not extending the entire length of the box, the stands having projections that t beneath the strips on the box, and flexible legs, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

MAX KRUEGER.
